And a drum roll please, because it is Friday! Thank the heavens above for the weekend even though oddly enough... I actually hate weekends. This week I have had one of the best weeks in quite some time. I am still here as part of the unemployed world (pathetic I know.) But, I was able to attend the BYU basketball game against SDSU. It was the greatest game I have ever been too. Yes, even better than some of the football games against the U. I have officially fallen in love with Jimmers little smile! He is the darn cutest thing alive! I will be thoroughly entertained by this team in the next few months.
I also have been very grateful for my best good friend Danielle in the last few weeks. I have not had much drive to do anything and she has kept me going. We have had much fun going to the gym and watching American Idol! So to her I say thank you for keeping my ever so boring life happy!
My thought today has to do with the daily TRASH that we are surrounded with! It has been brought to my attention in the last few weeks exactly how horrible all the film entertainment is! I have listened to some people explain to me some horrible scenes from The Black Swan, Jersey Shore, Skins etc. All these trashy "reality" shows are all about sex. Children as young as 14 years old are going through high school worried about who they are going to get "lucky" with. If I am not wrong the Jersey Shore has a room called the "Smash" room, and I can only imagine what that is for. Not only sex but sexuality, drugs, stealing, lying. All these shows depict everything you shouldn't be seeing!
I have only been worried because a few things have been brought to my attention. #1 my 11 year old sister would be able to get home from school, turn on the turn and just be able to see this crap! #2 Can't I watch anything anymore that has my morals and values? The answer is almost everytime NO. There honestly has been about 1 of every 15 movies made that are even up to par with what I like to watch. My favorite is this new Ashton Kutcher movie about casual sex..... ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? I am appaled! I don't care what religion, age, gender, race you are. We are painting a horrible picture for our younger generations. I can't even remember a show when I was 11...only 10 years ago!, that would have anything close to this crap on it. The standards of this young generation are deteriorating so fast! I am sorry but having a "casual sex" buddy is not okay, and just because they fall in love at the end does not make it okay! Why cant someone just write something funny, with good all fashioned humor?
When these kids watch this crap they think it is okay to act like this! Now I get that with every generation things are always changing and evolving. But for things like the F bomb, and drugs, and sex to be incorporated into every day activities is not something to be taken lightly. I apologize for this tangent but I don't think this is okay anymore. It honestly makes me think twice about every having children! Why would I want to bring a child into this world and surround them with such junk?
All I ask is think twice about what your kids are watching and the type of kids they are hanging out with. It is impossible to hide from terrible things, but we can all try to do a little better. Its cool to have morals and values... I PROMISE!
I do hope everyone a wonderful weekend of peace and rest!
